Air Canada's brand value has soared 88 percent to $1.8 billion over last year placing it among the Top 50 most valuable Canadian brands, according to this year's report on Canadian brands published by Brand Finance. Air Canada was cited as the fastest growing Canadian brand among Canada's largest corporations, and the only Canadian airline to rank among the Top 50.

UK-based Brand Finance is one of the world's leading brand valuation and strategy consultancies that every year valuates over 3,500 brands to determine which are the most powerful and most valuable by country, by industry and against all other brands worldwide.
"The progress achieved over the past year in building Air Canada's brand value is tangible evidence of the transformation of our company into a sustainably profitable, high performance enterprise," said Calin Rovinescu, president and chief executive officer.
"It is further recognition that we are making steady progress towards becoming a global champion, with an engaged workforce and a focus on improving our service and product offerings. I want to thank our 30,000 Air Canada employees for helping to achieve this latest accomplishment as we work together towards this common goal."
